At Fillmore East is the first live album by American rock band the Allman Brothers Band, Live @ The Fillmore their third release overall. Produced by Tom Dowd, the album was released in July 1971 in the United States by Capricorn Records. As the title indicates, the recording took place at the New York City music venue Fillmore Live @ The Fillmore, which was run by concert promoter Bill Graham. At Fillmore East was the band's artistic and commercial breakthrough, and has been considered by some critics to be one of the greatest live albums in rock music. It has also been ranked among the best overall albums by artists and continues to be a top seller in the band's catalog, becoming their first album to go platinum. First I was at the Fillmore when these recordings were laid down, and what a super charged night that was. They mixed and meshed Blues with Rock, flavoring it all with a nice southern funk. The extended jams are relentless, capturing a moment that still feels like it's hanging in the air. This album was the 'climax,' the 'peak,' this was the best part of the trip. The tough thing about this album is that during this era, every band felt that they had to have a double album, felt that they had to have a live album, and then felt that they had to have a double or triple live album. The reason for this is relatively easy to understand. Bands did their studio thing, and then tried to take it to the road. So there I was, sitting atop a rusty fifty gallon drum, Bic Pen in hand, filling out the subscription ticket, using my overseas address. Needless to say, the record never arrived, though a rather beaten up copy of Rolling Stone arrived a month or more late every month, right on time. This album was recorded with a great deal of care, and the remaster is even better, the digital clean up was not over done, and actually perks up the essence of the night. A fine release for your live collection, one that should not be missed.
